This is a well done video that draws strong parallels between Hitler and Obama and their political agenda. Well worth the hour and a half it takes to watch. And as far as Pope Frances -- it bothers me that when he addressed Congress (the first time a Pope has ever done that in history) he never mentioned the name of Jesus Christ. In every book of the New Testament, the books begin with some variation of this: Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I don't know who this Pope is, but I don't believe he is a follower of Christ. He came in his own name.I have never considered that Obama and the current Pope could be the ones spoken of in the Bible in the latter days. But this video did open my eyes to possibilities. Satan has always had his agenda in each generation and only God knows the timetable. As Christians, we need to be prepared and not be hoodwinked into thinking the end times are way into the future. That is presumptious and dangerous. The Bible says to stay sober and alert. And continue to pray for the peace of Jeruslaem.

Daniel is a teenager with an unusual talent: he can read people's thoughts. He's also a young Jewish boy living in 2015, one with a troubled past that is marred by disappearances and deaths of loved ones that ultimately sent him to a psychiatric facility for rehabilitation. He quickly learns that rehabilitation isn't something that science can fix and he leaves in frustration, only to return home and have his world literally disintegrate around him. That's when he travels back in time to the first century, to an Israel that is totally foreign and a life that challenges not only his well being, but also his shattered beliefs, his shattered faith. Daniel crosses paths with Jesus of Nazareth. He meets others from this time period, good people and not-so-good people, and he chooses diverse paths in the misconception that money will solve his problems. In the end, he loses all that he earns in this first century world, justifying a need to find a purpose, to reclaim his Jewish faith and heritage, and to come to understand this person - this rabbi, this teacher, this healer - that people are claiming is the Son of God.

Lorilyn Roberts has written a thrilling time travel story that will inspire young readers to look into themselves to discover their beliefs and their faith, and to strengthen their passion to follow their God. This is a page-turning thriller, a coming-of-age time travel fantasy that challenges a young man's faith and belief in God.

I have hesitated
to write this post because it's controversial. It will make readers
uncomfortable. It makes me uncomfortable. But God has told me it’s time to come
out of my comfort zone. It’s time to speak the truth, and sometimes that’s not
popular or expedient. Some will think I have become an end times lunatic or a believer
in conspiracies. Well, so be it. I write from my heart and continue to ask God
for wisdom and discernment.

Before I started
working on Seventh Dimension - The City, Book 4, I asked God to show me
the battle between good and evil throughout history and into the last days. While
God wins, sometimes winning is hugely costly—it cost Yeshua His life. Sometimes
winning brings an outcome we don’t expect. Sometimes we must lose the battle to
win the war. I am confident of this one thing, though: God is on my side.

Be careful what
you ask for. I'm sure you’ve heard that expression before, but it's true. I
have spent the last forty plus years living out a comfortable Christianity. Not
that my Christian walk has always been easy and not that I haven't endured
trials and hardships, but compared to what's coming, I am hesitant to label anything
about my Christian walk in the past, comparing it to what’s to come, as
anything more than minor suffering.

As I look at
what our Christian and Jewish brothers and sisters in Syria and other countries
around the world are facing, don’t believe for an instant that what they are
enduring won’t come to America. Believe, me, the West is not going to go
comfortably into the sunset before the Lord’s return. We are ignorant to think we
will escape some degree of suffering even if we don’t experience the full wrath
of God.

The King James
Bible in 2 Thessalonians 2:11 states: “And for this cause God shall send them a strong
delusion, that they should believe a lie.”

Could I be deceived?
Could you be deceived?

In 1994, when my
daughter, Manisha, suffered an epileptic seizure, the cause was nearly
impossible to diagnose based on ambiguous MRI’s. It was called a
"zebra" in medical parlance. We ended up going to Yale University so
she could be examined by a renowned doctor in pediatric infectious disease.
This physician was the only one who was certain that what my daughter had was a
“worm in her head,” known as neurocysticercosis. She assured me it was treatable,
that my daughter could fully recover, and that she did not have what was
initially labeled as a brain tumor.

Considering that my
adoptive father died of a brain tumor five years to the very day that my
daughter had the partial complex seizure, I was skeptical and scared. It was this
doctor’s validation that gave me the assurance I needed to go to Vietnam and
adopt my second daughter, Joy, one week later. Looking back on those difficult
days, it’s hard to believe Manisha is now 24 and Joy will be turning 17 in
a few short weeks.

How could this
doctor be so sure of the diagnosis despite the doubts of others? How could she
give me that assurance? Because she knew what neurocysticercosis was—better
than anyone else at that time. She was one of the leading authorities on this
disease in 1994.

Do we know the times
in which we live? Have we studied Scripture and asked God to open our eyes to
what's coming? Are we prepared? Are we as the five wise virgins in the Parable
of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 25) ready for the bridegroom’s return? Or are we as
the five foolish virgins who missed the wedding because they weren’t prepared
and ran out of oil before the bridegroom arrived?

I have always been
struck by what Jesus said in this parable: “And the foolish said unto the wise,
‘give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.’ But the wise answered,
saying, ‘No so; lest there be not enough for us and you, but go ye rather to
them that sell, and buy for yourselves.’’’

The wise virgins did not (or could not) give
their oil (the Holy Spirit) to the foolish virgins.

A few years
following the health crisis of Manisha, I wrote a blog post about the experience.
I explained how she had a parasite in her brain, a parasite that she contracted
in Nepal before I adopted her at age 3. I wrote the article so that other
adoptive parents could be warned about neurocysticercosis. I didn’t want anyone
else to bring home an adopted son or daughter and face the fear and uncertainty
I had faced, something that could easily be remedied with a simple deworming
pill—just like you give to dogs and cats and farm animals for hookworm and
other parasites.

After publishing
that article on my blog, I was contacted by the producers of the Animal Planet
show, "Monsters Inside Me." They had found my blog post and wanted to
feature our story.

A few years after
the airing of the episode, the producer emailed me once again and asked if I
knew of anyone else who had adopted a child and had a similar story of a brain or
other parasitic infection. I told her of one person who had contacted me and who
had said he was "filled with worms and didn’t know what to do. They were
destroying his body…" The producer responded back and said the person
had Morgellons Syndrome. Of course, I had no idea what that was, so I Googled
it. Someone suffering from Morgellons Syndrome is deluded with parasites.

The producer of Animal
Planet’s “Monsters Inside Me” could tell the difference between someone who
really had a parasitic infection from those who only thought they did.

Do I have that kind
of knowledge or perception when it comes to current world events and what the
Bible says about those events? Do I know God's truth well enough to tell a fake
story from a lie or a delusion?

Luke 21:26 states:
"...Men's
hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are
coming on the earth; for the powers of heaven shall be shaken."

To be honest,
until the last couple of months, I couldn't imagine what could be so horrific
that men's hearts would fail them with fear. What could be worse than a nuclear
bomb? While that is scary, it would not cause my heart to fail me with fear. I
guess it’s because I have lived with that possibility all my life.

I believe there are things that will be worse
than that—things that are supernatural.

Luke 17:26 states:
"And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the
Son of man."

When I think of
these words, I imagine people living in sin, forgetting God, and being filled
with wickedness. Every day I caption sports and news on television, and I have
yet to caption a newscast that was filled with just “good news.” The problem
with this “traditional” interpretation is that this kind of sin has been going
on since Adam and Eve rebelled in the garden. What was different about the time
of Noah?

How many of you
have heard about the Nephilim? How many of you have heard about transhumanism
and the creation of hybrids? How many of you have heard about CERN? How many of
you have heard about the increase in UFO's, alien abductions, and animal
mutilations? How many of you know about the connection of the Vatican with the
Mount Graham National Observatory near Safford, Arizona? Why does the Vatican
have a telescope in Arizona? What are they looking for? How many of you are
familiar with HAARP, a high frequency active auroral secret research program
that no one will talk about?

It's linked to the chem trails that are being
sprayed from airplanes all over the world. What are they spraying and why? What
about Jade Helm, another top-secret military operation that ended a few days
ago—why have they labeled Texas, Utah, and Southern California hostile states?

I have mentioned
only a few things here to show you why it's important to know God's truth and
why we need to be informed and prepared for the last days—whenever those days
might come. We don't know God's timetable for anything. But there are signs. I
believe the only thing that is holding back "the day of the Lord" is
God's merciful hope that people will turn to Him and repent, and as a nation,
we have a lot for which to repent.

This week, several
significant events are taking place. The Pope will be visiting the United
States and addressing the United Nations and Congress following the most Holy
Day of the Jewish calendar, Yom Kippur, on September 23. It is the Day of
Atonement, a day when Jews fast, engage in prayer, and ask for forgiveness. If the
rapture were to take place this year, I believe it would happen on Yom Kippur.
Of course, none of us knows the day or the hour. It might not be for a hundred
years. Only God knows.

Other significant
events have also happened recently or are still occurring. We are at the end of
a blood moon tetrarch cycle that has taken place on the Jewish holy days for
the last two years. Historically, tetrarch blood moon cycles rarely fall on the
Jewish appointed days, but when they do, significant events have been associated
with them.

We are at the end
of the seven-year Shemitah (financial) cycle and possibly at the end of the 49-year
Jubilee cycle. If this is true (and it’s hard to know absolutely because the
Jewish Jubilee hasn’t been celebrated in over 2,000 years), the last Jubilee
year before this one would have been in 1967 when the Jews took Jerusalem back on
June 11, 1967, in the Six Day War (to calculate this, you need to use the
Jewish lunar calendar and not the solar calendar).

We face perilous
times in the Middle East. The recent treaty with Iran puts Israel at risk. War
is imminent. In my opinion, it's not a matter of "if" but
"when."

I began work on my
book Seventh Dimension - The City by
asking God to show me the battle between good and evil, particularly in the
last days. God has given me much to think about. If you ask yourself the same
question and you do the same reading and research I have done, you will
eventually have the same second question: What is truth and what is delusional?

I don't believe we can know these answers
humanly-speaking.Because the battle
we fight is spiritual, we can only discern it spiritually. As a Christian, that
would be through the Holy Spirit. One thing I have learned: The occult is alive
and well on planet Earth. Do not underestimate what Satan is about. He is the
"prince of the air" and he knows his craft well. He also knows his
time is short. He has plenty of “angels of light” roaming the earth giving
enlightenment, but be aware. This is occult knowledge—not from Jesus Christ. Have
nothing to do with these masqueraders. And there are many, including the elite,
those pushing for a New World Order, and those who practice freemasonry.

We must remember
Ephesians 6:17-18: "And you will need the helmet of salvation and the
sword of the Spirit—which is the Word of God. Pray all the time. Ask God for
anything in line with the Holy Spirit's wishes. Plead with Him, remind Him of your needs, and keep praying earnestly
for all Christians everywhere."

II Timothy 1:7 states: “God has not given us
a spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind.”

If the stock
market crashes a thousand points this week, are you going to panic? If the
banks close, do you have some cash stashed away that you can quickly access and
live off of for a month? Do you have a few weeks of food on hand if the shelves
at the grocery store are emptied by panic-driven mobs? What if there is no money
available at the teller machine because our country is in the throes of a
financial crisis and no cash or credit is available? What if the power grid
fails and your house turns dark? Are you prepared for that kind of adversity?
It could happen. It's happened before.

More importantly,
if the rapture doesn't happen until after a period of trial and tribulation,
are you ready to suffer? Are you ready to die for your faith? A friend of mine who
has a friend whose husband is a trucker pulled into a truck-weighing station on
the highway. When they checked the contents inside his truck, they found
guillotines. Why would anyone be transporting guillotines in America?

We live in
perilous times. My greatest fear is the true church in America is sleeping. As
Christians, I don’t believe we are prepared physically, emotionally, or
spiritually for what may be coming. We are too complacent sitting in front of our
television screens, filling our already too full bellies with ice cream and
snapping silly selfies with our latest iPhone. I am guilty also, but I am
trying to do my part now to alert others—God needs you. He needs you to be a
witness. He needs the sleeping church to wake up. We are His army. He
needs us to be aware and ready so our oil is full and not empty.

We are either on the verge of the greatest
Christian awakening in history or what the Bible refers to as the Tribulation.
I don’t know about you, but I’d much rather leave for my children a world
brimming with the knowledge of God and the love of Jesus Christ. It’s not too
late to wake up the sleeping church.

Israel needs you.
Be the friend they need during these dangerous days. Yes, the Jews are living in
Israel in disbelief. That’s why they need us more than ever. God brought them
back in disbelief. He has not abandoned them. God needs us to be their friend
and be a witness to them. They need to know evangelical Christians are behind
them one hundred percent even if Washington isn't.

We need to stand
for truth when it comes to marriage. Don't cave in. Don't compromise. God made
man and woman this way, to cling to one another and bear children together. To believe
anything other than this is an abomination. Don’t be deceived.

Ask God to forgive
us for any role we have had in the greatest holocaust since World War II—the
killing of the unborn child. Their blood cries out for justice. We should shake
in our shoes over God’s coming judgment for this horrific crime—a crime that
has not only afflicted our country, but we set the precedent and gave “permission”
to legalize abortion to the rest of the world. We have led the whole world astray.

The timing of the release of the Planned Parent videos is not without
significance. We have sacrificed our children at the altar of convenience, and
ultimately, Satan’s altar. We have fed the false religions of this world with the
blood they crave—just like the heathen in ancient times. Don’t be deceived.
There is power in that blood—the power of life. Don't believe for a second God has
turned a blind eye to the one billion plus children who have been aborted
worldwide. “The day of the Lord” is coming.

Pray for our
country. Pray for our nation. Pray for revival. Pray for the peace of
Jerusalem. Pray that no matter what happens, whether we see demons coming in
UFO's who claim to be the saviors of mankind or our country is invaded with
strange apparitions that are part human and part demonic (Nephilim), we will
not waiver in our faith. We will not take the mark of the beast. We will die
for our belief that Jesus Christ is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He is the
Messiah and no one else. No matter what happens, remember who wins, and in the
end, that's all that matters. The battle belongs to the Lord and He will give
all of us the strength and grace to do His good work until His return.

Again, do not give
up or grow weary. There is good in the world and it’s worth fighting for. God
does not want anyone to perish, but for everyone to be saved. Let’s join
together and pray for revival before it’s too late. There is still time. Return
to God. Pray—in the car, in the shower, in bed, at work. Pray unceasingly—and
hopefully, God will hear our prayers and delay His coming judgment.

Haunted by a recurring dream of his missing father in a mysterious castle, 17-year-old Daniel is captured by the Romans and finds asylum in the Temple. There he discovers a scroll that reveals his future concerning a wager between good and evil.

But the stakes are raised when he witnesses the trial and crucifixion of Yeshua. The convergence of time with supernatural events creates a suspenseful ending and leads to the fourth and final book in the Seventh Dimension Series, The City.

I dropped my head and turned away. If two members of the council couldn’t change events, who could? Messiah or not, did he have to die? If time was an illusion, how many different pasts could exist? The futility of being stuck in the first century grieved me if I couldn’t change it. What was God’s purpose bringing me here? Surely, this wasn’t God’s appointed time—that couldn’t be changed—unless Yeshua was who he claimed to be.
